Recent trials of monoclonal antibodies in patients with leukemias or lymphomas have demonstrated the remarkable potency of these agents to kill tumor cells specifically and safely. New molecular biological and radiochemical techniques are also allowing rapid inroads into the remaining obstacles to t

โฆ Synopsis
Recent advances utilizing monoclonal antibodies to phenotype acute leukemias have revealed no prognostic significance of the expression of lymphoid-associated antigens by acute myeloid leukemia blasts and conflicting results regarding 'biphenotypic' acute myeloid leukemia. Several studies treating patients with refractory lymphoma with immunotoxins reported encouraging results but significant production of anti-mouse or anti-toxin antibody. Radiolabeled antibodies that react with panhematopoietic antigens have delivered selective radiation to marrow, spleen and lymph nodes in animal models and are being used in Phase I studies of marrow transplantation for acute leukemia.

## Abstract The introduction of monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) into the treatment of cancer has led to improvements in patient survival. However, to the authors' knowledge, little attention has been paid to the infectious complications associated with their use. The authors performed a systematic re
